Easy to Understand Petraeus Flowchart

Since the David Petraeus scandal broke, you’ve laughed at the jokes and nodded along while friends gave opinions but it’s time to admit the truth. You have no idea what took place and what the big deal is. Gawker.com has been kind enough to put together a flowchart so you can easily catch up.

How in the hell did these 2 people graduate from West Point yet could not figure out that e-mail leaves a trail?

@Gunner If i’m looking at this correctly, the Elmo guy is the shirtless “anonymous” one.

Take away the pictures and this looks like the diagram of the Eli Manning scramble and pass to David Tyree in Superbowl 42 (I don’t do Roman Numerals)!?

Wish I had an FBI friend that could go through other people’s emails just because I asked. The Patriot Act rules!

I can’t help you with other people’s e-mail, but maybe I can send you a shirtless pic.

This is a perfect example of power being an aphrodisiac. You put Petraeus in a button up shirt with a pocket protector and he wouldn’t make it to the nearest Subway without having his lunch money taken.

Well, he did go to Ranger School, so anyone looking for an easy mark may be in for a bit of a surprise.

@sidwasout I’m sure he knows how to handle a firearm, but he looks like he got his ranger training at Jellystone Park. His ass-kicking days are long behind him, and just because someone makes it through ranger training doesn’t mean they are magically a badass. Maybe he was more formidable when he was younger, but now he looks like he has a hard enough time fighting his uniform in the morning.

@Punk0
I take it you’ve never met anyone who has gone through Ranger School. It may not be quite at the level of SEAL training, but everyone comes out of it a certified badass.

Yes, he’s older, but I’ll leave it to you to try to test his abilities in a fight. Let me know how that works for ya.

If anything now I’m more confused. I admit I have week flow chart skills. As long as nobody got classified info from these horndogs, then not a big deal. If someone did- very big deal. God knows China, Russia, and any other countries that want our classified documents can easily come up with good looking women to send over and sex it out of our generals. I bet cold war-era Russians are kicking themselves today- “All we had to do was send over a good looking woman to be nice to these dorks!”

@BadNewsJeff
I’m pretty sure the Russians were doing just that.

It missed the blown CIA op in Benghazi buying Libyan weapons for the Syrian rebels while holding AQ prisoners (which Obama claimed the CIA wouldn’t do any more). Then the Administration didn’t protect the op, let the Ambassador get kidnapped, raped, and killed, and relieved 2 General officers of command for trying to help.

The director of the CIA cant hide an affair…. There’s something wrong with that. And the general in charge of Afghanistan doesnt know enough about operational security to not use his personal -government- email address to harass someone?!??
